Players should also note that if a Hideout spawns, there is usually a quest for it at one of the surrounding towns and villages, we recommend looking these quests, to avoid missing out on additional gold and XP. If you want to go that route, we recommend finding Simir Frostbeard, because he has the highest Scout skill out of all companions in the game. In addition to leveling up on their own, players can also find a companion with a fairly high Scout skill and make them a Clan Scout for the same effect. However, we suggest players level up the Scout skill before they go hunting around for Bandit Hideout locations, simply because it’ll be a better use of your time. The other is pretty much by chance, but you can maximize your luck by searching near towns and villages. There are several ways players can find Hideout locations in Bannerlord, the first being to level up the Scout skill, so the player has an increased chance to spot the hideouts.

The same is pretty much true in Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord.

Players were able to attack these Bandit Hideouts and collect the spoils once all foes were slain or captured. In past games, Hideouts were locations on the map the player would occasionally find that spawned randomly. In this guide, we will provide players with an explanation of the best ways to discover Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord Hideout locations. In Bannerlord, hideouts have been changed up a bit, with the Scouting skill directly affecting the chances of discovering new hideouts while traveling on the map, there are also new quests involving the destruction of these bandit hideouts. If you have played Bannerlord or are a veteran of Warband, you probably have encountered Bandit Hideouts before.
